If Laudrup decides to stay in England, both Arsenal (10/1) and Chelsea (16/1) are rated as possible options.

The Dane has achieved hero status at the Liberty Stadium after leading the Swans to Capital One Cup glory yesterday.

But bookies aren't confident the 48-year-old will be around to manage the side in their debut Europa League campaign next term, qualification for which comes as a result of their Cup win.

Laudrup is priced at 5/2 with Paddy Power not to be manager of Swansea after the summer, with Real Madrid (9/1) reckoned to be his most likely destination.

Recently, a poll of Real fans revealed Laudrup was their favourite to take over from current boss Jose Mourinho, ahead of fellow candidates Rafa Benitez and Carlo Ancelotti

And Laudrup admitted he was flattered by talk of him joining the Spanish champions.

"To have 40,000 or 50,000 votes and be in front of two huge names like Rafael Benitez and Carlo Ancelotti, who have won league titles in Spain and Italy and the Champions League, I'm very grateful."

If Laudrup decides to stay in England, both Arsenal (10/1) and Chelsea (16/1) are rated as possible options.

Current Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is under pressure following the all-but-certain extension of his side's trophy drought into a ninth year.

And interim Chelsea boss Benitez is unlikely to be given the chance to remain in his job after May.

A Paddy Power spokesman said: "Although Laudrup may fancy a crack at the Europa League with the Swans, we have a feeling the chance to manage a club in the Champions League maybe signal the end of his Welsh adventure.”

But Swansea's star striker Michu will be doing his best to convince Laudrup he should stay at the club over the remaining weeks of the season.

"I have gone up to Michael and said 'stay with us now we are in Europe'," he said.

"I know other people will want him. He is really good, doing really well and maybe he can go with another club, but I hope he will stay here."
